Investigating officer Detective Warrant Officer Mark John was able to link a suspect to the murder through DNA, fingerprints and cellphone tracing.
“Two days after the murder, Bhekinkosi Sibongiseni Madlala (48) was arrested in the Madlala area,” said Port Shepstone Saps communications officer, Captain Petros Mpinge.
After several appearances in the Port Shepstone Magistrate’s Court, the case was transferred to the Scottburgh High Court for judgement and sentencing.
Madlala was on Thursday last week handed a life sentence for murder and a 15-year sentence for robbery with aggravating circumstances.
